We’ve discussed this at length – she’s the living definition of insane (doing the same thing over and over again, each time expecting a different result).
She isn’t doing the same thing. She has been deliberately doing different things within the confines of the frame she has to work in. How do we know she has been doing different things? Only meeting up with Monicas grandfather for the last 7 cycles. Discovering in this cycle that Monica is the 4th light source needed to muck around with the Calendar.
Technically, if Alan wants to take a sane view of what Jin’s saying, all he needs to do is head back to the Bible, where man was made from dirt and clay.
There. Rationalization achieved. Now back to the nookie.
It’s disturbing by how quickly my mind went from ‘Jin + sex + hollow clay doll = cum dumpster’…which is probably the last thing that Alan needs to hear right now
DGMW. I’m not OFFENDED, and I know that “young adults” are often capable of dealing with a variety of topics. But not all of them are, and their parents sometimes don’t know their capabilities. I know from trying to sell my comic about teenagers that the merest allusion to sex will leave “YA” buyers cold.
Bottom line, I don’t think sticking YA in the title tag is a good marketing move.
I guess if they’re marketing as “YA” successfully, they’d know better than I would. I do have some fairly conservative libraries where I live. I’d always labeled Penny and Aggie “PG-13,” and I’m a lot more comfortable with that label.
Not to disparage Alan’s superhuman levels of patience, but the vision of a naked Jin does make for a strong argument on the side of him sticking around in spite of all the weirdness
I know how this one works.
I’ve done basically the same thing to myself more times than i care to recall.
Bipolar, much, Jin?
Jin, quite the strange one, to be honest. Then again, she would have good reason to be strange.
Alan does not get enough props for the stuff he has to deal with.

Better a clay doll than a Ken™ doll…
Strike 2 for Jin’s attempt in lightening up the mood………
She should quit while Alan’s still there…….

Site looks great! However, the paypal plug and amazon.com advert are out of place. Throws off the flow…
Jin! SHUT UP! You’re gonna drive him away with talk like that!
(… no, I don’t shout at theater screens … why do you ask?)
Yes you do, Fnord.

Yeaaaah she can’t get pregnant or give/receive STD’s. Probably the safest sex ever.
yep… total moo killer…
–OOT–Fairport Fan, love the Sita icon!
“YA Comic?” Seriously?

Odd. I’ve been networking with YA authors that seem to think Wapsi fits.
I guess if they’re marketing as “YA” successfully, they’d know better than I would. I do have some fairly conservative libraries where I live. I’d always labeled Penny and Aggie “PG-13,” and I’m a lot more comfortable with that label.
I’d have to say PG-13 for Wapsi as well, but I’ve been told that Wapsi still seems to fit that market niche.
The more I visit the new site, the more I like it. It’s growing on me.
Jin’s timing may not be the best, but she’s asking valid gut-level questions about herself instead of destroying universes. I see that as progress.
On the other hand, I agree that Alan deserves major props for putting up with a really scary girlfriend’s insecurities…
Ouch, Jin. Total mood-killer.
First ime I’m seeing the new site layout, Paul – love it!

I’ll have to get used to the new arrangement and manuvering icons but I think it looks cool!
Well…
Alan is mystically animated meat, so I don’t see the problem.
(Using a broad definition of ‘mystically’.)
